Thats the riding I do...... maybe add a few more mph tho!! LOL

Had a pretty close call on my bike today (on private property) doing about 120 -140 (ie max speed on klr 600), throttle just went dead and motor felt weird and then conked out so i let off throttle and down shifted to roll start it (must of gone down two gears or something) the rear wheel went into a compression lock for about two seconds and back came out a bit..... Damn close call...after that bike was running fine --0 it was really weird as i have never had anything like this happen b4? maybe it was just a bubble in the fuel lines or something?

Any of you bike riders had this happen to you before?

I think next time i will just hold the clutch and pull over (bit safer mez thinks!!)

happened on my zx7R, iced carbs.............. common problem with the late 90's ZXR's.

Winters weekend day, cool air, long ride, loss of engine power, down a few cogs to slow it down, lock rear wheel (where was the slipper clutch in the 90's LOL), big slide, no power, BAM on it comes with compression, black snakey all down the road (oh and black undies too). Pull to side of road and let the carbs warm up again.

Brendan this is perhaps the best street cycling vid i have ever seen: its a cut down segment of pascal on le Perlipherique ie its the highlights from a lap around paris in 12 minutes: this guy can REALLLLLYY ride!!!!!!!!!!! He defenitely has a death wish!!!!!!!

WOOHOOO Got the 6.1 Hemi 300C :D in today. there are only subtle changes from the standard 5.7 (like the extra 68kw) the main thing are the 20 inch wheel with monsterous brembo brakes. I would easily get one of these beasts over a FPV or HSV. Got to say this is one of the only good things about my job :P

Can't wait to get the jeep equivelant 0-100 in 5 seconds - take that Holden a 2 tonne 4wd is faster than the GTS

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
